but... its not titanium, "Precision machined from solid anodized aerospace grade aluminum"?

it is titanium coated aluminum. As someone said before a grinder made of pure titanium would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

A solid Titanium unit would probably be around $2500 based solely off of increased machining and material costs.

no its aluminum good stuff very strong I have not broken any teeth in the year or so i have had it. The black coating (titanium) is not stick free, I have lots of build up. Super high quality grinder over all.

Dude it's the best grinder on the market hands down. Don't question it. Just buy one and you'll see for yourself.

How much do you think a titanium grinder would cost. How much is a pound of titanium

It is a very nicely anodized aluminum. FYI well made, excellent tool, really gets the job done right. Fast, easy and neat.

Hi Ron, they are. I believe you will see the word anodized or I anodizing. I believe that is in reference to they way aluminum is applied. Has something to do with electrical current. Supposed to make them stronger. 😊

This grinder is made out of aluminum. It has a "titanium-reinforced" teflon coating on it. They like to call it "titanium non-stick". They basically mix titanium particles into teflon before applying it which hardens the coat. I'm not sure why this isn't explained a bit more in-depth on their site, or anywhere else for that matter. It's shady advertising. I'm in the market for a pure Ti (preferably Grade 1) grinder, which this is not. Also, if the coating wears down overtime, it'll mean you're smoking/vaporizing teflon along with whatever you ground up.

I really don't believe that it is anodized (I have over thirty years experience with metal processes). It does appear to have some type of coating but it has not worn in over a year and we have used it extensively.

It seems to be primarily metal (aluminum I'm sure) with some plastic parts.

Pretty sure it is cast aluminum with a powder-coat finish. The color looks different than the picture.

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

These are NOT NOT NOT titanium.They are forged steel. They are heavy . The coating is a chrome titanium color only just for looks. they are cool looking but heavy.

I just happen to have it sitting next to me, the back of the box states Military Type III Anodized, 6061 T6 Aluminum.

there is something that looks to me like a ceramic cylinder type of piece. But not plastic.

It's probably aluminum but it is definitely not plastic. It is some type of metal for sure.
